What I'm trying to say is, Wall Street analysis of a company is very different from video game critic analysis of a company. EA and Take Two have had unbelievable years as companies, and Activision is a profitable goldmine that's just had it's potential released by the Vivendi buyout, but of those companies only Take Two has had a critically acclaimed game. Not saying Wall Street or critics are more or less right than one another, just apples and oranges.Whewww, yeah, FFXIII… what a disaster!

Past successes for a game in a franchise doesn't guarantee that future games in said franchise will be as successful, just look at FFXIII compared to say FFVII .
As for Michael Pachter, I still waiting for his predictions about Nintendo to come true.Billy Pidgeon is right no game is review-proof and brand loyalty doesn’t always guarantee success, the average gamers are a fickle bunch.
